Three Things That Have Pissed Me Off Today

This case is sickening. This woman was gang-raped by at least seven men, and was put in jail because she spoke about the case to the media. Then he lawyer lost his license for doing so also, and she is without representation in court. This is disgusting.

Three boys ages 8 and 9 are charged with raping an 11 year old girl. It completely baffles my mind that this could happen. The boys will not be tried as adults because they are too young and the minimum age to be tried as an adult is 13. But if they are capable of something like this as 2nd and third graders, what will they do when they are 15 or 16? And to make this even more disgusting, one of the fathers said that there was sex, but it was consensual. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!

What bothered me the most was the headline, "Hooker deaths near Atlantic City a mystery a year later". Four women are dead, their murders are still unsolved, but the most crucial piece of information is that they were hookers?

Just needed to rant for a few minutes, I really don't know what to say, it's so disturbing that this is the world we live in now.
